EDEN Wild Rice is hand harvested in canoes from northern Minnesota lakes by the Leech Lake band of Ojibwe. Wood fire parching imparts a mild nutty flavor and offers the experience of true wild rice - light, fluffy, and sweet. It cooks in 30 to 35 minutes. Eden considers it No. 1 too, because it's the best we have tasted or found anywhere.

EDEN Wild Rice is rare authentic wild rice. State and tribal law distinguish authentic wild rice as Native harvested using the non-mechanized methods that have been handed down through generations for over a thousand years. Authentic wild rice is in danger of contamination from domesticated, hybrid strains. EDEN Wild Rice supports the traditional culture and helps preserve this age old crop and harvesting style.
